Hong Kong Travel Guide

One of the great cities of the world, Hong Kong is legendary and a 'must see' for any would-be world traveler. Sitting on the doorstep to China and serving as a portal to the largest consumer potential of any single country, Hong Kong invites the world to come and experience a unique perspective. Say "Hong Kong" and one immediately thinks, "Big city", but Hong Kong is more than a massive metropolis that never turns out the lights: In 1997 China assumed control of the colony, which encompasses a group of more than 200 islands (Hong Kong island being one of the largest), Kowloon and the New Territories from the former British administrators. It is now known as a Special Administrative Region under an agreement that provides for the continuation of Hong Kong's unique social, economic, and legal systems for another 50 years beyond 1997. The region is situated among a cluster of islands, deep bays and rivers along China's sub-tropical south coast and at the top of the South China Sea between Taiwan and Vietnam.

Shopping galore! Entertainment 'extraordinaire'! Spectacular sights! Sizzling cuisine! Outstanding cultural and historical treasures! Hong Kong resounds with exclamations so indulge, enjoy and experience the vast array of activities available to you in one of Asia's premier destinations. The open-air markets of Kowloon specialize in everything and guarantee a bargain bonanza for everyone. Then again, maybe your tastes run to an exquisite luxury item, in which case, you should be looking in one of the uptown, upmarket centres like Landmark Shopping Mall. The giant Ocean Park entertainment complex on the south side of the island provides a fantastic family outing. It has a thrilling roller coaster ride and an aquarium and Panda bears and centres of discovery for children and grown-ups alike.
